A 76-year-old woman was killed in a head-on collision Monday afternoon in Lehigh Township, Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek said.

Elizabeth Kates, of Sassafras Street in Lehigh Township, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 12:45 p.m. crash in the 4200 block of Lehigh Drive, Lysek said. She died of multiple blunt force injuries and her death was ruled an accident, he said.

Fire police shut down the intersections at Municipal and Blue Mountain Drives as Lehigh Township police investigated the crash. Lysek said the circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation.

Two vehicles were involved in the crash and an off-duty police officer at the scene said one person died, according to police radio reports.
